My old man is a lonely tree

Sitting on a branch in a lonely sea

Could he have let my mother down

But my old man he came to see me

Well I was burned up with ill feeling

But his eyes they said it all
F#
I forgave him for his fall
G#m
Verse Two:
G#m B
And in the summer he’s a summer breeze

Shooting at all his possibilities

But he plays with the devil to fill his cup
//Chorus Two//

My old man is good at singing
B F#
He plays the guitar like Carlos Santana should have done

To be a broken man it hurts his feelings

Sweet souls setting in the sun
